[mythtv-users] What to back up?

[Monkey Pet]

Here is my list (i have reinstalled several times):
1.  Backup the mysql db using the method outlined on the mythtv site.
I think mysqldump...
2.  Also I copy the mysql raw files on fedora it is /var/lib/mysql, so
I have multiple methods of restoring.
3.  Save off /etc/...
4.  Of course your homedirs.
5.  Of course the dir containing your media files.
